National, September 2025: Blue Ocean Beverages Pvt. Ltd. announces the launch of KAMA Kaapi Rum, a first-of-its-kind Indian spirit that unites two timeless indulgences – the soulful depth of coffee and the smooth richness of rum.
Crafted in small batches, KAMA Kaapi Rum is born in Chikmagalur, the birthplace of Indian coffee. At 1,040 meters above sea level, rare AAA-grade Arabica, the single-estate coffee beans are grown in red earth, monsooned by rains with cool mountain air. These beans are roasted to a medium-dark profile, cold-brewed to capture their earthy and woody notes, and infused into cane and molasses spirits. The result is a rum layered with chocolate, nutty undertones, and lingering caramel – bold yet comforting, familiar yet exciting. What makes KAMA Kaapi Rum stand apart is not just its craft but also its scale – each batch produces only 1,296 hand-numbered bottles, making every sip part of a rare story. “KAMA” means passion. “Kaapi” means coffee. Together, they symbolise a spirit that honours heritage while inviting discovery.
India has always had a love story with coffee, and rum has been a celebratory spirit across generations. With KAMA Kaapi Rum, we’ve brought these two worlds together. It’s not just a drink; it’s an experience – one that captures India’s essence in every pour.
